Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire early on Tuesday morning along the International Border and Line of Control in the Nowshera, Samba and Arnia sectors in Jammu and Kashmir.
Three civilians were injured in the shelling in Arnia sector of Jammu district, reports PTI, quoting police.
According to reports, Pakistani troops fired on Indian positions using small arms, automatics, 82 mm mortars.
India and Pakistan have accused each other of regularly violating the ceasefire agreement between them to maintain peace at the border and the LoC.
Border skirmishes intensified after Pakistani militants attacked a military base in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri, killing 19 Indian soldiers on September 18.
The Uri attack prompted the Indian Army to carry out a surgical strike that destroyed seven terror launch pads and killed an unknown number of terrorists and their sympathisers in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, across the LoC.
Heightened border tensions between the two countries have forced many residents of frontier villages to migrate to safer locations.
India shares 230 km of International Border and 740 km of LoC with Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir. The boundary, manned by the paramilitary BSF runs through Jammu district and the LoC, which is not an internationally-accepted frontier, cuts across other regions of the state.
